The purpose of the EOI is to share the department's current thinking on the development of the 6th Year of the Turing Scheme (Academic Year 26/27); and the requirements for an independent, transparent and robust assessment service to assess applications against set criteria to allow the Department of Education to make funding decisions. We additionally want to seek expert views from the sector to inform its further development.

Through this Expression of Interest (EOI), suppliers are required to confirm whether they can meet the criteria and timescales to deliver the requirements set out at section 3 and 4. We would like to understand market interest and gather insight on our delivery approaches, and your responses will inform a potential future procurement activity planned for Q3 2025/2026.
